F1 - 2018 season discussion

[satanboy]

I don't know which Dave is biggest of, a Hamilton fan ...?

Do you think I’m @Grant?

 

[satanboy]

I think this top 10 drivers is irrelevant to this thread.

Picture this:

Mercedes build 10 identical cars. You get to choose the drivers, who then do a full race at Spa. Who do you put in there?

For me (in no particular order)
1. Hamilton
2. Alonso
3. Vettel
4. Schumacher
5. Hakkinen
6. Max Verstappen
7. Senna
8. Clark
9. Fangio
10. Laude

I wouldn't bother putting Vettel in that race.

1. Hamilton
2. Schumacher
3. Hakkinen
4. Alonso
5. Clark
6. Fangio
7. Stewart
8. Senna (so we can finally see if he really was that great)
9. Verstappen (because he'll be world champion soon)
10. Le Clerc (because he's pretty good and we need an rookie for funsies)

I like this. I considered Maldonado too for the lulz

Some people just want to boost their post count

Pastor, Max, Vettel and Kyvat, on a soaking wet track in heavy rain...

Well Vettel would spin off on the first corner, so he wouldn't really feature in that destruction derby...

He did a good job of that at Singapore 2017.

Hehehe.... let me try

2008:
In the Brazilian Grand Prix, after running as high as second in the race on a 3-stop strategy, Vettel overtook Lewis Hamilton in the rain for fifth place on the penultimate lap to contribute to a thrilling climax to the season. He nearly deprived the McLaren driver of the championship before Timo Glock slowed dramatically on the last lap (he was struggling with dry tyres in the ever-increasing rain) enabling both Vettel and Hamilton to pass him, earning Hamilton the title, and Vettel fourth place.

After the season had finished Vettel was named Rookie of the Year at the Autosport Awards.

Aged 21 years and 74 days, Vettel broke the record set by Fernando Alonso at the 2003 Hungarian Grand Prix by 317 days when he won in wet conditions at Monza.

Sebastian Vettel came out top in a dramatic wet qualifying session at Monza, claiming his and Toro Rosso's maiden pole position for the Italian grand prix.

In 2013 he took pole for the Malaysian Grand Prix in dominant display of wet weather driving, lapping over 2.5 seconds faster than teammate Webber.

I am not saying he is the best in wet [owned by HAM & VER currently), but certainly not as bad as you guys make it to be... hehe, imo offcourse.

Let's add Magnussen as a catalyst

Oh, get over yourself, this is a lighthearted thread where everyone involved gets a bit of stick.

Petulance isn’t a good quality, no matter what you’ve previously been told...

 

[Beavis]

Noted... thanks

I like Magnussen (and I ain't even joking). His attitude is awesome.

Agree. One of the good guys. Like Bottas.
